Data‐driven loop‐shaping controller design

Abstract

Summary We develop a data‐driven and real‐time test for candidate controllers' ability to meet given McFarlane–Glover loop‐shape specifications. The proposed test provides a data‐driven method to improve robustness of closed‐loop systems by eliminating controllers that past collected data have proved to fail to meet loop‐shape specifications. The test has an important property that many candidate controllers (not necessarily active ones) can be tested in real time using evolving real‐time plant data collected while others are active. It is shown that controller‐shaping in the present work plays a role that is dual to the role of plant‐shaping in the model‐based H∞ loop‐shaping design procedure. A simulation example is provided.

Robustness of Uncertain Switching Nonlinear Feedback Systems against Large Time-Variation

“…The results of [11] are generalized in [12] by (i) considering non-linear plants and controllers and (ii) adding a bumpless switching feature. A switching system that considers real-time and data-driven controller performance based on loop-shape specifications is developed in [13].…”

Robust state estimation for wireless sensor networks with data‐driven communication

“…Therefore, a reduction of the data transmission rate from the remote sensor nodes is meaningful in wireless sensor networks so as to save the energy consumption and avoid the network traffic congestion . Data‐based strategies or event‐based data scheduling methodologies provide a novel mechanism to deal with huge amounts of process data or maintain the estimation performance under communication limitation, see and for more.…”
